Haggen has now announced that the stores that were originally slotted for auction in January (the core stores listed below from our region) are now scheduled to go up for auction on February 5. We will be tracking that auction closely and, like we did for the first round of auctions on non-core stores, we will be pushing hard and do what we can to get a union buyer who will respect our contracts under new ownership.

Wearing your union button in the coming weeks will help send this strong message to customers and others. Keep in contact with your Union Rep with questions or if you need more buttons for the store. While this is a challenging and stressful time, by standing together as union workers and our customers we are able to have a far better outcome.Union Rep # 1-800-732-1188.
